Chapter 741: Don't be unpredictable
The waiter was slammed.
The news coming out of Tūrán, the "crossroads" of Asia, completely broke the geopolitical pattern of the whole of Asia. No one expected that the political situation in Afghanistan, which was originally thought to be unchanged at least before the full-scale war between China and the Soviet Union, actually underwent earth-shaking changes in just a few dozen hours! First, Kabul, which was garrisoned by Soviet troops, was inexplicably attacked and completely annihilated, and in less than five hours, the Amanullah regime was destroyed, and at the same time, the Soviet garrisons in Kunduz and other places were fully attacked.
While politicians were staring wide-eyed and trying to figure out why, and military strategists were racking their brains to figure out how the Northern Afghan Army managed to succeed in a sneak attack without knowing it, Nader Shayǐ announced in Kabul that he would regain royal power and that he would immediately visit Beijing to seek help for Afghanistan's domestic stability. In order to find out the truth of the matter, diplomats from various countries stationed in the Far East almost all received urgent telegrams from home, which also made the city the focus of attention at once.
In Beijing's Nanyuan Airport in the cold wind, a large group of Wehrmacht soldiers dressed in military coats formed a human wall with loaded guns and live ammunition, separating hundreds of journalists from various countries. In order to welcome Nader Shah, Beijing's diplomatic standards were very high, and even Yang Qiu came early to personally welcome him as the president of the country. Naturally, the ambassadors of various countries to China also paid special attention, so the number of people welcomed at the airport exceeded 100.
As a Comet 5 stratospheric airliner appeared at the end of the sky under the protection of four fighters, the crowd suddenly became lively. Fortunately, the reporters were told that Nader Shah and the president would be interviewed in public, so there were no crowds. The plane quickly landed on the runway, and when the hatch opened and Nader Shah, dressed in a traditional Afghan fur hat and robe, came into view, the heat of the flashing lights almost melted the entire plane.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. On behalf of the Chinese Government and people, allow me to welcome your visit. Yang Qiu's brisk steps forward and kind words. Nader Shah, who is visiting China for the first time, is very useful. Of course, he also relied on the help and support of this Asian strongman today, so he respectfully expressed his gratitude and greetings. It was not until the two of them finished reviewing the guard of honor and made speeches that the friendship between the two countries was naturally long, and only after the speeches did the vigilant soldiers let go of the passage.
"King Nader Shah, how did you recover Kabul?"
"Your Royal Highness, have you received foreign help for your military operations?"
"Mr. President, does the behavior of the Chinese Air Forces represent your order to get involved in the war in Afghanistan?"
“。”
The podium was packed all at once, and the domestic reporters were quite reserved, but the foreign ones were not polite. One question after another points to the inside story of the battle between the Chinese Air Force and Kabul. Nader Shah experienced this kind of scene for the first time, and unconsciously felt a little nervous, and quietly glanced at the smiling Yang Qiu, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Afghanistan has always been a sovereign and independent free country, but in recent years, some people have ignored the opposition of the people and colluded with other countries to use the territory of Afghanistan to prohibit sabotage. But unfortunately, there are still some cities and regions under their control, so I am here to warn seriously. All illegal garrisons must be withdrawn from our borders within a month, otherwise I will use all my military force to defeat the aggressors and defeat the evil forces that are trying to annex our country! Allah, the Great. This is my decision and that of the entire Afghan people! ”
One month?!
Nader Shah's ultimatum made the reporters more and more interested, and they immediately pointed the finger at Yang Qiu again for fear that the world would not be chaotic. Whoever is zhīdào China is the biggest supporter behind Nadir Shah. Just look at the transport planes and fighter jets that fly between western China and Afghanistan today, and you can be confused about how many private deals have been struck between the two sides. But zhīdào belongs to zhīdào, but Yang Qiu and the Beijing government have never recognized it. Although Nader Shah has now publicly issued an ultimatum, it is absolutely impossible to contend with the Soviet Union with the power of Afghanistan, so the position of the Chinese government has suddenly become the key.
"The past week has been a victory worthy of all peace-loving, independent, democratic and enlightened countries and peoples in Asia and in the world. In the past week, there have been welcome changes in Afghanistan, which has been subjected to foreign enslavement, and King Nader Shah and his army, after a bloody battle, have finally expelled the puppet government from the foreign invaders and regained the rights that belong to him and the Afghan people! In the terminal building, which was temporarily changed to a press conference, Yang Qiu used a calm voice to first button a big hat on Nader Shah and military operations, and personally admitted the Afghan government and Nader Shah in disguise, which made the latter finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He continued: "I zhīdào, everyone really wants to zhīdào the attitude of our country, here I just want to say a set of numbers. In the nine years after the Soviet government and the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan and supported the puppet army, they supported the northwest of our country 127 times
Rebel activities, wanton infiltration and dispatch of more than 10,000 spies to the northwest region of our country, 31 small-scale border firefights, a total of more than 100 border residents and 17 brave soldiers died! During these nine years, they have brazenly pursued GC ideology in the northwest of our country, India and Iran, induced the people to launch immoral attacks, plundered property at will, trampled on religious freedom, and repeatedly coveted these areas. They are full of emancipation and emancipation of the proletariat, but they are still big chauvinism in their bones! They openly clamored at the highest-level Politburo meeting in the country to seize China's territory, openly trampled on the "Sino-Soviet Peace Treaty" and massively increased troops in the border areas to create tension, and also forbade Ang to actively make military preparations, and the total military expenditure exceeded $5 billion for three consecutive years, several times that of China!
Our security in China is under serious wēixié! The people are being enveloped in guns. In this shí thick, King Nader Shah and his followers finally stood up and defeated the puppet army to regain power. I am sure that we are all fascinated by the fact that a stable Afghanistan is a blessing not only for China, but also for India, Iran and the whole of Asia, and for this common aspiration of our common aspiration to save the Northwest region and India and the whole of Asia from war, I and my Government will fully support his decisions and actions, and I would like to say a good word to the Soviet Union and Mr. Stalin here.
The current Chinese yǐjing is not the China of the Tsarist period, the Chinese people yǐjing stood up! We not only have the ability to defend the security of the motherland, but also the determination to protect the interests of the country from harm! So stop trying to push your minds, there are traditions and guidelines in this land, and yǐ jing has been observed for thousands of years! And stop wishful thinking of expanding to the East, here yǐjing is not a land that allows you to suck flesh and blood, this is a great, free, independent, and abiding by our zìjǐ culture and traditions!
I don't zhīdào the Soviet people can not hear what I am saying here, because they are yǐjing surrounded by lies and fake news, but I zhīdào Mr. Stalin and the Moscow government can hear it! I want to tell you that Afghanistan is our neighbor of China, and as long as people have morality, conscience and a sense of justice, they will not sit idly by and watch their neighbors being harmed and exploited. Because our Chinese traditions and history tell us that we are indifferent to the life and death of our neighbors, and that one day when we are hurt, our neighbors will also ignore us.
Therefore, I support King Nadir Shah's ultimatum just now, that all Soviet troops must be withdrawn from Afghanistan within one month, and that the troops stationed outside the northwest of our country must be immediately withdrawn, and the number and scope of troops stationed in the Sino-Soviet Peace Treaty must be restored. We would like to solemnly warn the Soviet Government that you will continue to fight against chauvinism, do not turn back on expanding your mind, and insist on tying more than 100 million Soviet people to the chariot! nàme we will not be polite either! Inch by inch, wanton behavior will be punished as it deserves. Our country will have the right to take all actions to help our neighbors and preserve national security.
I have said all the ugly things in front of me today, so that everyone and the people of our country are determined to safeguard sovereignty, national interests, and regional stability, and we must tell the Soviet government that we should not say anything unexpectedly! ”
Yang Qiu's words were like stiff steel smashing to the ground, shaking the audience to silence. His tone was impassioned, and his gaze was so stern that it was impossible to look at him, and Fa ngfó wanted to tōngguò this expression to show his determination to intervene in Afghanistan and ensure long-term peace and stability in northwest China. Reporters were short of breath and wrote hard, and ambassadors from various countries exchanged words and discussions. This small airport press conference was the first thing that lit the fuse in Asia.
The day after Nader Shah arrived in Beijing, issued an ultimatum and received assurances from Yang Qiu, Motolov also expressed his dissatisfaction with China's interference in Afghanistan's internal affairs, provoking the Afghan civil war, and seriously wēixié the national security of the Soviet Union. But his efforts were ineffective, and Amanullah's arrest suddenly deprived the Soviet Union of an excuse to continue intervening, and also left the army without a legitimate excuse to stay, and Rúguǒ's continued stay would turn into aggression in the real sense. Moreover, the international situation at this time was not conducive to Moscow, Britain, France, the United States and other countries were eager for a war between China and the Soviet Union, leading the troubles to Asia, and even Hitler wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, so he was the first to stand up and recognize the legitimacy of the Nadir Shah government.
With Germany as an example, Italy and other countries have acknowledged that although Britain fears that the war will hurt the interests of India and the Persian Gulf region, the House of Commons still has a resolution to conditionally support Nader Shah's government. What made the Soviet Union nervous the most was that the Arab countries were unanimously on China's side, and even Tehran heard voices to recognize the Nader Shah government.
On November 19, the White House on the other side of the Atlantic also officially announced its recognition of the legitimacy of the Nadir Shah government!
To this shí thick, there were only two roads left in the USSR.
Either withdraw and cede Afghanistan, which has been painstakingly managed for nine years, to China, or it will be war. How would Stalin choose? Where will the great Soviet in his mouth go? The answer to everything will be revealed before the ultimatum deadline of November 29.
